What a supermoon is
At a Full Moon the Moon stands opposite the Sun, here at 2°14′ Cancer. This one is a supermoon: the Moon is near its closest point to Earth, so it looks a little larger and brighter than usual.
Astrology reads a Full Moon as a peak: what began around the New Moon comes to light, and feelings run high in the area where it falls. A supermoon is read as a Full Moon with more force.
The sign is Cancer: home, family and feelings.

Why does the house need my birth time?
The houses turn once a day with the Earth: the Ascendant moves about one degree every four minutes. Without the time the house of an event is a guess, so the result shows only the planets it touches.
Is the date the same everywhere?
The event is one moment for the whole Earth. The page gives it in UTC; in your time zone the date can be a day earlier or later.
